Lunula Laser
Having a fungal nail infection can be embarrassing. But laser nail fungus treatment is not only safe, it is effective. A healthy newhealthy nail will begin to emerge in just a few months.
Fungal nail infections occur when pigmented yeasts form under the nail bed. The fungus then tries to seek out warm, dark places to grow. This results in a thickened nail, making it harder to care for.
Laser nail fungus treatment has been approved by the FDA for this condition. Using a laser, a beam of light passes through the nail bed, destroying the fungus.

Onychomycosis
Onychomycosis of yellow toenails is a contagious condition that can be spread by direct contact with contaminated objects or hands. It is not hereditary, but some families are more likely to develop it than others. Some genes, however, protect against this fungal infection. People with immune dysfunction are also more likely to develop this condition. This includes people undergoing long-term steroid therapy and those who are malnourished.
Patients with onychomycosis can take oral antimycotic to treat the infection. The most common ones include terbinafine and itraconazole. This drug works by killing the fungi in the nail bed. It has several potential side effects, including headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and decreased sense of taste. Terbinafine is not recommended for people with liver problems or those who have a history of heart disease. It may also react with drugs such as quinidine, pimozide, or dofetilide.
If you suspect that you have yellow nails, the first thing you should do is to see a doctor. A doctor can confirm your diagnosis by conducting a physical exam. However, it can be difficult to differentiate this condition from other diseases and trauma. A doctor may also need to perform a laboratory test to determine if you have onychomycosis before prescribing a treatment.
The most common type of onychomycosis is distal subungual onychomycosis, which starts in the nail bed and spreads to the outer edges of the nail. It may eventually affect the entire nail plate. White spots on the nail plate are another sign of onychomycosis, and these are often caused by T. violaceum or T. schoenleinii.
The best treatment for this condition is the Lunula Laser but oral medication work about 50%. This includes terbinafine (Lamisil), itraconazole (Sporanox), and fluconazole (Diflucan). These medicines are to be taken for several months, and your healthcare provider may check for possible side effects. Some of these drugs may affect the liver and interact with other medications.
A fungal infection may also cause yellowing of the nail. This is more common in fingernails than in toenails. It is also more common when a person wears tight-fitting shoes or experiences trauma to the nail plate. The most common type of fungus responsible for yellow nails is a member of the Trichophyton family. An infection of this fungus may cause thickening of the nail plate, deformity, and yellowing of the nail.
Fungal nail infections are yellow and thick and they can spread to other toes and skin. They can affect the base of the nail or the whole nail. The symptoms of fungal nails include yellowish nails, white streaks, and thickening of the nail.
